Tending to Your Wounds: How to take care of yourself when you’re hurting

Posted on

Lately I’ve had my emotional capacity intensely tested. I feel full on my level of sadness, grief. Yet at the same time have felt happy and content through out a lot of it. But during this time it has felt overwhelming to carry a load of emotions so heavily weighted. So I have been focusing on taking care of my wounds and showing up for what they need. If you follow me on Instagram you likely know that my Grandma hasn’t been in great health.… Read More

The Gift of Presence

Posted on

  I walked into my room and paused, completely still. My bed is half unmade, half covered in pillows and Acme’s asleep in his usual spot, near the window, by the salt lamp set on the low setting. “I love my bedroom,” I whispered to myself. I love the simplicity, the ease it brings me every time I walk in and the instant I lay my head down I feel at rest. I thought, how rare it is that we stop to appreciate what we… Read More

In the past decade affirmations have become more mainstream. The use of words or phrases to help change your mental outlook has gained a lot of public notice and support in helping people. Truthfully, affirmations are ancient traditions. Spoken word therapy has been around for centuries and it’s helped people and communities across the globe. They can be traced back to ancient eastern religions, and indigenous tribes. Widely known, mantras are phrases, poems or sayings chanted over and over again during meditation. The word  “mantra”… Read More

When Your Desire Doesn’t Feel Strong

Posted on

When I first started down my journey to live well, in all areas of my life, I would tell people all the time “it comes from this burning desire to heal.” Trying to explain this deep seeded feeling of inner drive.   We all have it, it’s inside you already even if you don’t know it yet. That burning desire is for something that your heart aches for, that your truest self desperately seeks. And at any given time this can also shift and change.… Read More

How To Lead A Successful Life

Posted on

    I found this tiny notepad in my purse pocket while I was traveling. Ever since I can remember I’ve carried small notepads around with me to jot ideas and thoughts down at a moments notice. I had packed one for my trip, but this one was different. It was old, worn, with every page full. I opened it up to read it, quickly realizing that it was from a few years ago, not that long after I had lived in Florence. It’s full… Read More

The Roots of Grief

Posted on

Part of why I love having Soul Power as a part of this site is because it provides the opportunity to further connect with one another as a community. I appreciate so much the depth at which people are willing to go with their writing, and personal anecdotes. Carrie Lewman, is a brave woman who writes over on her site carrielewman.com.  I’ve come to know her virtually through her participation in my September Self-Care program a year ago. She took so much away from that… Read More

The Hallway Is Hell

Posted on

 I think it’s fair to say that we’ve all likely experienced a time (multiples really) in our lives where we had to go through the process of grieving, dredging through discomfort and healing. In that time it can often feel lonely, scary and as though we lack a sense of direction of our true path to know what direction we are headed. This month’s guest contributor goes deep into that space, otherwise known as the “hallway of hell”. This incredibly vulnerable space that we venture… Read More

Finding the Light in Growing Pains

Posted on

  There’s truth to what they say when you’re young and you have physical aches and unexplained discomfort, “oh, it’s just growing pains, they’ll go away” most people say, and they do. But what about when you’re an adult, and those pains while physical they may manifest, are rooted in emotional turmoil, can we grow out of those too? Last weekend I was on a plane heading to L.A. for my yoga teacher training and as I looked out the window over the California coast… Read More
